Malaysia is among the most friendly and hospitable places in the world

Malaysia is among the most friendly and hospitable places in the world to work and live in, while Malaysians are warm, friendly people who easily accept foreigners into their circle of friends.Malaysia is among the most friendly and hospitable places in the world to work and live in. In addition, the country's tropical climate with its uniform temperatures allows light, comfortable clothing throughout the year.Expatriates and their families will enjoy a safe and comfortable living environment with 21st century amenities, good healthcare and medical facilities, excellent educational institutions, and world-class recreational and sports facilities - at costs much lower than in their own countries.One of the country's most distinctive features is its rich diversity of cultures, a heritage derived from its racial mix of some of the world's oldest civilisations - Malay, Chinese and Indian. This potpourri of race and culture has enabled Malaysians to speak at least two, and even three, languages - Malay (the national language), English, and their own mother tongue. Living in such a cosmopolitan environment, Malaysians are warm, friendly people who easily accept foreigners into their circle of friends.

Open Letter By DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng To All Malaysian Voters

“Respirar y Disfrutar De La Vida Que Es Muy Corta”

"Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason"

Following The Dissolution Of Parliament To Make Way For The 13th General Elections:

To All Malaysians Who Believe That Malaysia Deserves Better
As we count down towards this ground-breaking 13th General Election,
you can play a significant role in changing the course of our country’s
history. By simply daring to change, you bring a brighter future for a
Malaysia free from fear, free from ignorance and free from corruption.

Malaysia Deserves Better!

This historic general election will be about the economy and which
party has the correct policies, ideas, ideals and principles to make our
livelihood better.

Malaysia is caught in a middle-income trap.
Many find it hard to believe that in 1966 Malaysia’s GDP per capita of
USD350 was ahead of South Korea’s USD130. Almost fifty years later,
Malaysia has improved to USD9,977 whilst South Korea jumped ahead of
Malaysia to USD22,424.

Since March 2008, a 2-party system gives
us both a choice but also make our choices count. Countries that were
once less developed than us like South Korea and Taiwan have transformed
into high-income economies while we remain stuck in the middle-income
trap.

In 1963, Malaysians were richer than the Koreans and
Taiwanese, with a per capita income of 13.6% relative to US income,
whereas Korea and Taiwan per capita incomes were both lower at 10.7% and
12.6% respectively. 50 years later today, Malaysia is way behind being
only half as rich as Korea and Taiwan.

There are 3 critical
success factors namely a functioning democracy, fighting corruption and
building human talents. Bad governments that fail to deliver are
replaced through democratic elections by good governments resulting in
progressive reforms and improvements. Corrupt leaders are replaced by
those with integrity. And the country’s prosperity is underpinned by
building and retraining human talent.

The greatest gift that a
good government can bestow to our future generation is not cash handouts
but knowledge, education, a just system with integrity and equal
opportunity. Only then can we live with dignity and our young live
better than us.

Malaysia Deserves Better.

In contrast
to these two countries, Malaysia is No.1 in the world in terms of
illegal capital flight per capita, with a loss of RM 32,000 for every
Malaysian, which is more than even China with a loss of RM6,400 per
capita during the same period of time. No wonder then, that our national
debt has doubled from RM267 billion in 2007 to over RM502 billion
today, five years later.

To top it off, Malaysia has been
running a budget deficit for 15 years in a row. The last time Malaysia
recorded a surplus was when Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim was Deputy Prime
Minister. It is imperative that he be elected as Prime Minister to put
Malaysia back in the black.

By learning from South Korea’s
three critical success factors, we can arrest Malaysia’s graceful
decline. Pakatan Rakyat has proven that we can run a clean, accountable
and transparent state governments. We have overturned deficits into
surpluses, reduced our state debts, increased our assets and reserves,
and managed to save billions of public funds through open competitive
tenders. More importantly, we have channelled our savings to the people
through our people-centric social programmes. With your help and
support, we can do the same for Malaysia.

Malaysia Deserves Better!

I also wish to assure you that policies which will benefit the people
will not bankrupt our country – only corruption will. Our promises in
our Pakatan Rakyat Manifesto amounting to RM46 billion can easily be
funded by an “anti-corruption dividend” of 25% from the RM206 billion
worth of annual government procurements and projects. 25% amounts to
RM51 billion in savings that we can potentially reap, which is more than
enough to pay for our promises.

Let us move forward to an
international and intelligent state – one that educates and nurtures
talent; one that promotes and rewards diligence, expertise and
entrepreneurship; one that is liveable by being clean, green, safe and
healthy; and one that practices integrity, justice and people-centric
governance.

Malaysia Deserves Better.

The only
progress is change. Only when you have the courage to change, then can
you live with dignity. The time has come for us to connect with each
other as Malaysian brothers and sisters.

Where your problems be
it Malay, Chinese Indian, Kadazan or Iban are our problems. Where your
leaders, are our leaders. And where your children, are also our
children. And where your hopes are our aspirations.

We do not want to fear the government but the government to fear us. Join us in giving hope to you and the young.

Let us connect with each other so that we can face the challenges of
the future together. In preparing for the future, let us not let BN
steal our children’s future as they have stolen ours for the last 56
years. Ini kali lah!
